Successful Charity Weekend
- Details
The weekend of the 10th and 11th November saw the club in full Charity Mood.
The Saturday night started with a Quiz evening held in the clubhouse which included a variety of questions written and organised by Siobhan and Gavin. The evening also included dinner in the entry price.
The following day saw the Club's annual charity race. This year a different format to previous years. The handicap race was set for 100 minutes to commemorate the 100 years since the end of the FWW. The race format included a little twist that allowed competitors to swap crew if they so wished. At the same time even if there was no crew change they still had to stop at the pontoon.
All proceeds from both events to MSC nominated charities.
